    It's time for us to retire the overstated myth of American police having a few bad apples. Hundreds of thousands of them are overtly, explicitly racist. Implicit bias training will not solve this crisis. Police officers must NEVER be allowed to be bigots.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1135700550165696514 …

    Cops are racist AF. A new study of thousands of Facebook pages of American police officers found that at least 20% of current cops made overtly bigoted posts. Once they retired the number jumped to 40%. Learn more on today's episode of @TheBreakdown https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-43-cops-are-racist-af/id1457725100?i=1000440499592 …

        We should NEVER let any person who has been trained to kill in our military become a civilian peace officer. PTSD, non-stop deployments, etc

        When my daughter was in kindergarten another kid told her they wouldn't play with her because she was black. The kid's father was a San Francisco police officer.

        https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/fbi-white-supremacists-in-law-enforcement … Many FBI investigative stories since. I remember reading it at the time. The subject caught my attention as I have family in law enforcement and other family with connections to law enforcement. Their subsequent move to the hard right is disturbing to me.

        Police work draws a particular "type": Authoritarian followers (most authoritarians aren't leaders). Combined w/ measurable chemical changes that happen when when someone holds a gun (increased testosterone/endorphines), it's like they're hooked on the power rush.

        I work closely with law enforcement and from personal experience I have to agree with you. The majority of people I know in law enforcement are racist. They will tell you they are not but I have seen it first hand. And if they are not racist a lot are just plain bullies.

        It should be law that anyone who loses a job from police misconduct is ineligible to ever work as a police officer anywhere, ever. So many of these 'bad apples' get shuffles from department to department spreading the rot everywhere they go.

        I once heard a Ted talk by @meganfrancis where she dispelled the few bad apples myth. It's kind of hard to pick out a few bad apples when the whole tree's rotten.
